Unlike most teams, the in-game problems and weaknesses that the OKC Thunder may come across this season should not be viewed as major concerns, for 2020-21 is merely a development campaign.
Based on the various moves made throughout the season thus far, with their most recent decision to bench Al Horford for the remainder of the year, it appears the team has simply chalked up this season as a relative wash and, in turn, will focus their attention on the offseason to fill the gaps and weaknesses found on the roster.
